Ferrari Unveils The 488 Spider

Italian luxury sports car manufacturer, Ferrari has just announced the launch of the new 488 Spider. Boasting about 661 horsepower, the new offering is recognized as the automaker’s most powerful mid-rear-engined V8 car. Apart from being the most aerodynamically efficient Spider ever built, the 488 Spider features Ferrari’s patented retractable hard top, which folds completely inside in about 14 seconds. The body is composed with 11 various aluminum alloys for supreme rigidity, which protects and promotes the 3.9-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that accounts for 0 to 100 km/h in just three seconds, vortex generators at the underbody and a cushy leather interior. Take a tour of the 488 Spider with the above photos, and anticipate the official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. Pricing and further information will become available during the official reveal in Frankfurt.
